- Caractéristiques fonctionnelles
- 1P+N Design: Live wire protection plus synchronous neutral wire switching, suitable for single-phase distribution systems, with clear wiring and convenient maintenance.
- Type C Tripping Curve: Suitable for conventional loads such as lighting and sockets, balancing overload time-delay and short-circuit instantaneous tripping, with strong resistance to inrush current.
- Capacité de coupure élevée: 6le (IEC 60947‑2)/4.5le (EN 60898‑1), capable of handling severe short-circuit faults and ensuring distribution safety.
- Standard Mounting: DIN rail mounting with 1-module width, saving switchgear space, and compatible with Acti9 series accessories (par ex., contacts auxiliaires, alarm contacts).
- Adaptabilité environnementale: IP20 protection rating, resistant to temperatures ranging from -25℃ to 70℃, meeting the requirements of industrial and civil distribution environments.
- Champ d'application
– Overload and short-circuit protection for single-phase distribution circuits of lighting, prises, petits moteurs, etc., in commercial buildings and industrial plants.
Places with high requirements for power supply reliability, such as office buildings, hôtels, and hospitals.
Compatible with Acti9 series distribution boxes, used in scenarios such as terminal power distribution and branch circuit protection.
- Recommandations de sélection
- Correspondance de charge: Type C curve is suitable for non-inductive loads (par ex., éclairage, prises); avoid selecting Type D (pour charges de puissance) or Type B (for electronic equipment) curves.
- Circuit Matching: With a rated current of 6A, it is suitable for 1.5mm² copper core cables (long-term current-carrying capacity ≥ 10A), and the circuit length should be ≤ 100m.
- Capacité de coupure: The 6kA breaking capacity is suitable for terminal distribution; the front-end should be equipped with molded case circuit breakers with higher breaking capacity (par ex., 15kA and above).
- Accessory Selection: According to monitoring requirements, select accessories such as auxiliary contacts (par ex., A9A26924) and alarm contacts (par ex., A9A26934).
- Troubleshooting
| Phénomène de défaut | Causes possibles | Troubleshooting Methods |
| Déclenchements fréquents | Surcharge, line grounding/short-circuit, mismatched tripping curve | Check load current and insulation resistance; replace MCB with a matching tripping curve |
| Failure to Close | Unreset tripping mechanism, line short-circuit, ablation par contact | Manually reset the trip lever, locate the short-circuit point, replace damaged contacts |
| Excessive Temperature Rise | Câblage lâche, contact oxidation, high ambient temperature | Tighten wiring terminals, polish contacts, improve ventilation and heat dissipation |
| Insufficient Breaking Capacity | Lack of front-end protection, excessive short-circuit current in the line | Upgrade front-end protection, select MCB with higher breaking capacity |
